Ouyang touched his chin and thought for a long time, then nodded, "It's interesting, sir, this peach blossom..."

Long Qiaoguang drank tea from a cup while observing the brother opposite - Hongmao felt that he was not worthy of being loved so deeply, and Taohua felt that he was loved so much that even if Hongmao didn't know, it was worth it... What on earth was going on?

What's going on?

…

Later in the evening, the Grand Master came to Kaifeng Mansion, wandered in, and gossiped about something with the adults.

Everyone else in the courtyard was also there. After hearing what the Grand Master said, they were all surprised, "The Emperor still wants Guo Linxian to be the Grand Lieutenant?"

The Grand Master nodded, "The news came from the palace today."

Everyone discussed it and felt it was a bit unreasonable.

Zhao Pu knew Zhao Zhen relatively well, "It's abnormal."

"How do you say that?" Everyone asked curiously.

The Ninth Prince said, "The emperor even mentioned to me a while ago that he wanted to inspect some local officials. It's time to add some new blood to the imperial city."

Mr. Bao also nodded, "It is true that the emperor also asked me to recommend some local talents. It seems that for the post of Taiwei, I didn't want to choose among the old ministers."

"Besides, the Guo family has just lost face in front of the people of Kaifeng." The grand master shook his head while holding the tea cup, "It is indeed strange that the emperor would still use Guo Linxian, who is now notorious."

While they were discussing, the government servant at the door came in and reported to Mr. Bao that Mrs. Cai was here.

Master Bao frowned slightly, "Why is she here..."

The Grand Master winked at Mr. Bao and said, "It's over, it's over, has the old lady come to your Kaifeng Mansion to cause trouble?"

"That's not the case..." Mr. Bao thought for a while and asked the yamen servant to invite her in.

Mrs. Cai walked in with the help of the maid. The old lady looked a little haggard, but her face was quite calm when she came in, and she didn't look like she was here to cause trouble.

After entering the door, she first saluted Zhao Pu. Master Bao and the Grand Master also exchanged greetings with the old lady and sat down to have tea.

Mrs. Cai sat down and said, "I am surrendering myself."

Everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Cai raised her head and said calmly to Mr. Bao, "I sent people to kill Mrs. Xue's daughter and my grandson Guo An's lover."

Everyone stared at Mrs. Cai in surprise. Although this was the same result as they had speculated before, no one expected that Mrs. Cai would come to admit it in person.

At the same time, everyone became more confused.

In fact, many years have passed since these two murder cases, and there is no evidence. Mrs. Cai could not admit it or mention it, or even find a few people to confess... Even if the Kaifeng Mansion has great powers, it will be difficult to pin the case on her.

Go up to your head.

Why did she surrender? Has her conscience found out?

Probably seeing everyone's suspicious and distrustful expressions, Mrs. Cai sighed, "Just now, there was news from the palace that the emperor will continue to appoint my son as Taiwei... Sirs, do you know what this means?"

Everyone looked at each other - they were talking about this matter.

"Everyone should have noticed that some people want my prince's palace to be destroyed forever." Mrs. Cai said calmly, "Why does the emperor want to help us at this time?"

The Grand Master touched his beard and glanced at Master Bao.

Master Bao also frowned, but neither of them said anything.

"The emperor may want to see... what other tricks the other party has." Madam Cai smiled bitterly, "In other words, the emperor is irritating the other party... He has already gone to this point, and if he can't bring about the collapse of the prince's palace, then maybe

The only way is to kill all the heirs of my Guo family."

Everyone tasted it carefully, and it seemed like something Zhao Zhen would do.

"In the final analysis, I am sorry for the prince." Mrs. Cai sighed, "I killed those two women because they blocked my son's bright future... But the evil was all my fault and had nothing to do with my two sons. Guo

An also did something wrong. In our Guo family, Guo An and I are the only two sinners. We both confessed and wanted to be killed or chopped into pieces. We deserve it. But my other children are innocent... After thinking about it, except for these four who were killed by us,

Apart from the people I killed, I can't think of anyone else who would hate the Prince's Mansion so deeply..."

Mrs. Cai looked at Mr. Bao and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, for the sake of the prince, please save the lives of my innocent heirs."

The grand master couldn't bear to hear this and looked at Bao Zheng.

Lord Bao frowned, "Then Mrs. Xue, didn't you send someone to kill her?"

Mrs. Cai shook her head repeatedly, "No! The death of Crown Prince Li Fan has nothing to do with me. Since I have admitted two lives, one more or less is a capital crime, why should I hide it?"

Zhao Pu also asked, "Madam, you really can't think of any other enemies?"

Mrs. Cai was helpless, "I can't remember. At first I thought it was the relatives of the people I killed who came to take revenge. But now it seems it's not that simple..."

"Where are the Young Prince and Lord Shangshu now?" Lord Bao was also a little worried about the safety of Guo Linxian and Guo Linsheng.

"We are still in the ancestral hall of the Prince's Mansion. I originally wanted them to come together, but they refused." Mrs. Cai was worried, "I want to see who wants my Guo family to be destroyed."

Master Bao looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao also felt that this was the tempo for something to happen. Zhao Zhenzheng'er was known to be ruthless and evil. This was a ploy to risk the lives of the entire Guo family to force the mastermind to show up...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang decided to go to the Prince's Mansion first. If someone really came to find them, that would indeed be the best clue to trace the real culprit.

Ouyang Shaozheng also brought some Imperial City troops and rushed to the Prince's Mansion with the two of them.
